Been working my way through The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. At the very beginning she suggests using affirmations to clear out negative self talk. That idea used to feel too woo-woo, even for me, until I realized that beliefs (such as negative self-talk) are just thoughts you keep thinking.

102 stitches
102 stitches tonight In-progress capture of The Wizard of Oz Tree by tiny modernist cross stitch. Tucked into the bottom of the Q-snap, you can see a rainbow over the towers of the Emerald City. On either side of the rainbow, striped sticking with red shoes hang down from a tree branch. Each side of the branch also sports some leaves and a red flower. And there are some red blobs. And some colorful clothing. The Needle minder shows the backs of two angels, one with black wings and one with white. Three of the wings hang loosely behind them. One of the white wings is lifted above the head of the angel with black wings, as if to guard him from falling rain.

On the right, a white rose with yellow and pink highlights. On the left, green leaves. Over both, the following text: My husband crossed over unexpectedly, and I have been feeling overwhelmed. I would like to know if my financial situation will improve, and if I will be able to find trustworthy help to manage my [property. And what do I need to know about my husband’s transition from the physical realm to the spiritual realm?

I’m not fast, but at least I’m not steady either. Meh. I’ll get there someday.

On either side of the rainbow, striped stockings with red shoes hang down from a tree branch. Each side of the branch also sports some leaves and a red flower. Some red globes float near the top of the middle shelf. Needle minder is the superhero, Ladybug, doing a flying kick. The text reads Miraculous Ladybug.

It’s been a while since my last cross stitch post. So here’s my update. I have no idea how many stitches since the last time I posted. But I can tell you that tonight I did a total of 151 stitches.

A golden compass, pointing North, rests on a hard wood surface. The text next to it reads "I’ve been clearing energies of toxicity for several months now it has left me feeling very lost. I am looking for help finding the right thing to focus on over the next six months".

On a yellow background surrounded by questions marks, the text reads, "I am getting close to retiring from a job I love because of mobility problems. I have to start the process of leaving, paperwork, etc. I don't know whether I should start this summer or wait until January. Which should I choose?" At the end there is a graphic of a calendar.

Woohoo! Our first podcast is up. It's a bit of a tech run, but the reading was good enough we wanted to share it anyway.

Q: I've been staying at home to help my family, but now I would like to go back to work. I don't know if I should resume my career...

Went to see the Lilo and Stitch remake. In the middle of it, Mr. Shiny leans over and says, “I get what he’s your favorite. He speaks to your inner brat.”

I mean, yeah. L&S are both neurospicy, too.

Anyway, it was good. I loved it. I shall add it to my collection when it’s available to do so.

My honey just came back from a trip to Portland (and therefore Powell’s City of Books) and gave me a pressie. He knows me so well!

Eggy Pie! Or as some people call it, quiche. I used a gluten free pie crust and subbed vegan options for the dairy bits.

This recipe was a favorite of mine until my food issues cropped up. Glad that I can have a version of it once more…

198 stitches. Behold a foot!

It’s funny how adding a contrasting color lets you see the white better. Both in the stocking and the clouds.
A leaf, a line across, and a stripy stocking with a ruby slipper. Two fluffy clouds hang underneath the shoe. Today’s needle minder is an image of Cat Noir’s head grinning. Under his face are the words Cat Noir dress

270 stitches. If you squint you can see the white stripes. If you squint.
A leaf floats in the middle of the left side of the fabric. A thick, green line cuts directly across the middle of the fabric. The needle minder is Mary Poppins holding her umbrella aloft. In large letters across her skirts it says “Mary Poppins”.

An auspicious beginning. 87 Full stitches, 123 half stitches. I made a leaf!
Gridded and mottled Aida fabric in a q-snap frame. There is a leaf on the left, and a line going across the middle of the fabric. The needle minder is a movie clapboard that says, “I speak fluently in movie quotes”.

Stitching done! At some point I need to wash and press it, but that’s a future-me problem. Today I bask in the glory of completion.

Are they also in your kitchen?

Work sent me to Coos Bay, OR for an assignment. In honor of this I am watching Garry Marshall’s Overboard (1987). Not sure why exactly, but it seems fitting.

Okay I thought it was either shot here or the fictional town was based on CB. But it wasn’t. But I’m still watching it.

In 2024 I finished 235 books. (This does not count DNFs.) Most of them were saucy romances. Maybe 12 were book club selections.

😂 Good times.

Gluten free baguette.

This is my first time trying this recipe but won’t be the last. It was so easy, and they came out looking like baguettes!
